Dubai’s real estate market will remain resilient despite fear of global economic recession or slowdown in major economies this year, says Hatem ElSafty, Founder and CEO of Business Link.
The business consultant said the outlook for the real estate market is bright due to rising demand from high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) and millionaires, especially in the luxury segment.
ElSafty said: “As a business setup consultancy, we have seen a boost in the real estate and tourism licenses issued this year. Dubai’s strong portfolio attracts foreign investors and entrepreneurs to join the emirate’s booming property sector as they want to set up their business operations in the UAE”.
Dubai real estate resilient
Zoom Property Insights data indicates that the luxury market will continue to grow in 2023, with a 13.5% yearly increase.
The numbers suggest that the property market is showing no signs of slowing down, with a sharp rise in interest from investors and buyers alike.
The real estate market in Dubai has been a key driver of the UAE’s economic growth over the past few decades as it attracts investors worldwide with its luxurious developments and tax-free environment.
The sector has experienced significant growth in recent years, with soaring property prices, and new residential and commercial projects.
In 2022, the market surpassed AED240bn ($65.3bn), a 61% growth from 2021, according to Unique Properties.
Industry experts believe that the hype in the real estate market can be attributed to several factors, including the country’s successful Covid-19 vaccination campaign, the Expo 2020, and the UAE’s newly implemented long-term visa system.
These factors have boosted the country’s overall economic growth, providing a conducive environment for real estate investment.
There are some concerns that the UAE’s real estate market growth may be affected due to the anticipated global recession in 2023. However, Property Finder data indicates that the fear is baseless as the sector began the New Year on a high note with 178% growth in the value of real estate transactions and a 128% increase in sales deals in January.
ElSafty said: “The real estate market in Dubai is experiencing a surge in activity and hype, with demand for properties reaching an all-time high. Investors and buyers from across the globe are flocking to the country to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities and favourable market conditions.
“The real estate boom is not limited to a particular market segment, as both residential and commercial properties are experiencing high demand. In particular, the luxury segment is seeing a significant surge, with HNWIs seeking exclusive and high-end properties”.
Dubai’s real estate market has always been a popular choice for international investors, with its favourable tax laws, thriving economy, and world-class infrastructure.
However, the demand for properties has soared to unprecedented levels in recent months, resulting in record-breaking sales figures.
Real estate developers are capitalising on the current market conditions, with several major projects underway, including the ambitious “Dubai Creek Harbour” and “The Heart of Europe” developments.
These projects aim to attract investors worldwide and further boost Dubai’s position as a leading investment destination.
Despite the hype and enthusiasm surrounding the real estate market, experts advise that investors exercise caution and conduct due diligence before making investment decisions.
